Dealing with rooster

[Thomaswgordon]

We have an almost 7mo GLW rooster with 7 hens. He’s been too aggressive with them and has one of ours going through molt bare backed and bloody. Most the time we don’t free range and they have a 10x10 run. 2 of our hens would stay in the coop to avoid him. We just separated him in the pole barn with a dog crate. Any advice is helpful, I know it’s nice to have him as a protector but I don’t think it’s worth it being most of them are scared of him. I already posted a thread trying to get rid of him.

You could put pinless peepers on him and/or put saddles on the hens.

What do the pinless peepers do?

What do the pinless peepers do?

They stop him from being able to see in front of him

Does he not mount them then?

Turn him into food. There's zero reason to tolerate cruelty and violence

I don’t know if it’s exactly violence or just him being too excited. I don’t know if I could mentally kill and eat it though. I’ve been trying to find a new home but no luck

Agreed. Please don't make him someone else's problem.

So that’s not normal rooster behavior? This is our first one got by accident as a chick. Right now he’s separated in the pole barn and this is first time in a while all the girls have been in the run freely.

I would assume.I personally, have never used them.
